HMI’s Certified Fitness Coordinator (CFC) training is presented across the country in a workshop format that combines
classroom and practical exercise experiences. In the 18 years that HMI has been presented the training program, it has
trained and certified over 1,800 CFC's.
The CFC Workshop is a five-day (35-hour) course designed to train in-house managers to develop and administer a law
enforcement related wellness and physical fitness program. The workshop is also available in an agency specific contract
format. Such an application is recommended if an agency is planning to train fifteen or more employees at the same
time. Using this format, the curriculum is expanded or modified to the specific needs of the contracting agency. We
developed and delivered this course for the El Paso, TX, Fire Department, Oklahoma City, OK, Fire Department, Akron,
OH, Fire and Police Departments, Chesapeake, VA, Fire Department, Butler Township, OH, Fire Department, the Secret
Service, the FBI, US Capitol Police, US Diplomatic Security Service, as well as state and municipal law enforcement
agencies nationwide. Course participants learn how to:
|
|
- Perform Health Risk Appraisals
- Develop and Coordinate Fitness Policy
- Conduct Fitness Assessments, including...
- Aerobic Capacity
- Body Composition
- Muscular Fitness
- Flexibility
- Criterion Task Test/Job-Related Test
- Assist in Weight Control Strategies
- Design Strength Training Programs
- Reduce or Prevent Injuries
- Prescribe Individual Exercise Routines

|
Each participant receives a 400-page Fitness Coordinator’s Manual as part of the course. This comprehensive manual,
in its 16th edition, is a “cook book” of information, charts, and tables designed to provide law enforcement fitness
coordinators with everything they need.
